Too Many Plantain Chips (NEXUS ONE)

What ever happens I'll likely twitter the outcome of this experiment: http://twitter.com/arincrumley

This new years eve crystallized some big concepts for me. I wasn't planning to create new years resolutions but as I let my self sleep in recovering from the catastrophes of the day before the ways in which I'd like to improve came flying into my head.

While coming to terms with it all I also was dedicating all my creative energy into figuring out what I could make for Google. They'd given me the unreleased Nexus One a few weeks prior and asked me to make a video about it offering a substantial financial incentive.

So I really wanted to do something that we both would be proud of but literally couldn't get organized enough to get it done.

Google is an amazing company. I use a lot of their products. Most of which are free. Thanks for posting this (I know you were paid) but it was well done and I can tell you put some great effort into it. I love videography and would love to do it as well. Maybe someday I can start it back up. I haven't picked up a camera since High School. Any suggestions on how to get back into it? Where do you get your ideas? How much of it is RAW vs planned? Where do you get your ideas?

ParallelWorlds,

In terms of where to get started making videos, I'd say just pick a topic your passionate about and shoot some material about it then edit together something small in iMovie or windows movie maker. See how that goes then take it from there.

You messed up the video by puttin the clip where it says "insufficient funds fee" makes no sense!!!!! How could you even get a Nexus One if you dont even have enough money???? You do know its a very expensive phone right?? Anyways i like the video just that part kind of messed it up for me! Keep up the good work!!!!!

[arincrumley]

The insufficient funds reference in the video is not from being broke, it's from being disorganized and forgetting to transfer money to an account that had an imminent auto withdrawal.

how many hours did you work on this? great piece of independent filmmaking. keep it up man!

[arincrumley]

Took me a few weeks to stress about making, a day to write & re-write & a day with me and an editor on two machines going through hundreds of hours of life log material.

The way you edit and produce your videos is just breathtaking, it's full of emotion and I never get sick of it.

For some reason, this video reminds me of FourEyedMonsters, the ambiance settles.

don't ever stop being a kid, becoming a grown up is propaganda.

Btw, I'm glad you didn't give up on Four Eyed Monsters...if anyone criticizes it they just aren't open to originality

[afranke86]

I a have already started writing a script similar to this. Thanks for the inspiration Arin. It's good to get your personal thoughts on paper...I will send you a link when I'm done...how can I contact you?
